"Take A Bough
2007" is History!
The Lions Club of Arlington Heights in
conjunction with the Arlington Heights Historical
Museum sponsored
"Take A Bough 2007."
Participants purchased the decorating rights to 6 - 7 foot trees which
were erected in the Historical Museum's garden (at the south west
corner
of Vail and Euclid, across from the rear of the library).
Those curious to see the completed trees can check here for pictures.

school children and senior citizens with sight and hearing exams and

The committee makes regular pick ups of used eye glasses. Donate used

New Members Wanted!
Our club, founded in 1925, is dwindling. Once at nearly 150 members, we
now have about 40. Many are getting up in their years, and NEW blood is
need to carry on the mission of Lionism in Arlington Heights.
Are you a service minded individual, willing to work long hours for no
pay but MASSIVE rewards? If so, The Lions Club of Arlington Heights is
for you. Get as involved as you want: some members like service
projects; some like fund raising; some like the social activities,
general meetings, and the District convention; some like to pay their
membership every 6 months and read the monthly newsletter. There is
something for everyone!
Call Lion Marianne Bailey (8 4 7 - 5 5 0 - 9 4 6 3) for more details.
Come
to a meeting, no invitation is necessary (but it helps to let us know
you are coming).
Try us for a year, leave if it isn't for you, or stay and reap the
rewards.
